The Clique of Gold is a novel by French author Emile Gaboriau. The book revolves around the story of Monsieur de Sairmeuse, a wealthy aristocrat who is murdered in his own home. The investigation into his death leads to the discovery of a secret society known as the Clique of Gold which is made up of some of the most powerful and influential people in France. The story follows the efforts of the police to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder and the Clique of Gold. The book is a classic example of the detective fiction genre and is known for its intricate plot and well-developed characters. It was originally published in French in 1871 and has since been translated into several languages. The Clique of Gold is a must-read for fans of mystery and suspense novels.I can find no words to convey to you the exaggerated expressions of his gratitude. He refused to shake hands with M. Elgin, he said, because he was no longer worthy of such honor. He spoke of nothing but of his devotion unto death. It is true M. Elgin carried his generosity to an extreme. He, a model of honesty, who would have starved to death rather than touch the gold intrusted to his care, --he consoled Malgat, finding all kinds of apology for him, telling him, that, after all, he was not so very much to blame, that there were temptations too strong to be resisted, and repeating even those paradoxical principles which have been specially invented as an apology for thieves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
